Ok WOW – this pumpkin cake STOLE THE SHOW! Everyone absolutely loved it. People had seconds and even thirds!

The thing everyone liked about it was that it wasn’t overly sweet. It was just the right amount of sweetness.

And it was so light and velvety. It didn’t have that heavy feeling that pumpkin pie often brings about. It almost was like whipped mousse!

But it was that cinnamon cream cheese frosting that really took this thing over the top! Oh my gosh, what a treat.

And topped with fresh whipped cream — get outta town! Talk about decadence!

The last thing I’ll say: is that this dessert was incredibly easy to make. I mean, it uses canned pumpkin and boxed cake mix! Doesn’t get much easier and “user-friendly” than that!

So give this a try! And I’ll talk to you tomorrow!
